Conditions suited him....

[eliminator]

Played a good game. The last goal of the game was set up by his clever underground handpass in a difficult situation.

Bloke has been great all year.

Am eating my hat, and thrilled about it.

Hope he stays injury-free and keeps this up all year!

Frozen in time: Who has failed to develop at your club?

By Ben Casanelia

Every club houses a player whose career has not unfolded as expected after a bright start or top draft billing.

We take a look at one from all 18 clubs that has failed to live up to expectation so far...

RICHMOND

Reece Conca

Started this year in fine fashion but on the full body of work four good games does not make a career that for the most part has spluttered after the Tigers made the Western Australian the sixth overall selection at the 2010 national draft.

Had his mental toughness questioned by former development coach Mark Williams after a litany of hamstring injuries thwarted the 181cm Tiger’s attempts to get his career started. But even when fit and firing exactly where does Conca fit in?

Is tough and works hard, which is good in leagues with half-time oranges and post-game certificates.

In the AFL, players are generally in trouble when coaches start talking about how hard they played. Still has time to produce but right now stands in a group of players taken at recent drafts that produced too many excuses and not enough players.

Who's this clown, telling us what we've known for years ?

Can't even write

[the claw]

Geez he had plenty of choices. Would have thought Griffiths would fit the criteria of the headline better than anyone though.
Who has failed to develop at your club fmd it would take a week to explain it all.

Can Reece Conca force his way in for round one?

The Tigers have loved Conca's work off half-back this pre-season and Hardwick is expecting the 25-year-old to have a good year if he can stay injury free. If he gets off to the right start in the JLT Community Series, look for him as a replacement for suspended defender Nathan Broad in the early rounds.

Menadue first crack for mine but would not be unhappy with this...most will not agree 

[The Machine]

Very solid

Hardwick also indicated that unlucky veteran Reece Conca was in line to take Broad's spot after an impressive pre-season.

"Reece Conca was very good today," Hardwick said.

"[He] showed us that when he plays he is a very valuable player."

Ball use is still a issue.

[Willy]

Yep, shocking ball drop. Is good in most other areas though.

[mat073]

Can Concas body hold up past round 5 ??

[Chuck17]

Yep, shocking ball drop. Is good in most other areas though.

Can anyone confirm if watches the ball drop?

[Diocletian]

Looks good at times.... until he has to get rid of it or make a decision...hopefully we 'll finally make the decision to get rid of him at season's end...
